Aligning & laying out the brake hose
Danger of accident due to restricted or blocked steering and riding
movements because brake hose is too short or too long.
Ζ
Make sure that there is full steering movement in both directions.
Ζ
Make sure that all springs can function freely.
Ζ
Keep the length of the brake hose as short as possible and as long as
necessary.
Danger of accident due to brake failure caused by faulty installation.
Ζ
Make sure that the brake hose cannot be crushed, jammed or
stretched in any position (steering, suspension).
Ζ
Make sure that the brake hose remains at least 20 mm from the disc
brake rotors in all positions (steering, suspension).
MAGURA's routable hose routing (RHR) makes it easy to route the
brake hose correctly.

Fix the brake hose along the optimum position at the specified or
suitable points.
When installing the brake hose for the rear wheel brake use the
practical MAGURA hose holder – available in different models.
If it is necessary to route the brake hose of your rear-wheel brake
inside the bike frame, you must open the brake system at the brake
lever –see Shortening brake hose, page 18.
If necessary, shorten the brake hose for this.
A thin wire may be helpful for inserting through the bike frame.
Thread it through the openings of the frame in the opposite direction
and attach it to the end of the brake hose with adhesive tape. However,
do not insert the wire into the brake hose – oil loss!
Use the MAGURA hose plug.

Carefully pulling with the wire and pushing the brake hose at the same
time will make it easier to find the outlet.
Shortening brake hose
Oil loss.
The brake hose may have to be disconnected from the brake lever for the
following steps.
Ζ

Unusable brake hose – because it is too short.
Ζ
Before shortening the brake hose make sure that the handlebar and
stem are in their final position and do not need to be raised, extended
or adjusted in any way.
Ζ
Make sure that there is full steering movement in both directions.
Ζ
Make sure that all springs can function freely.
Ζ
If required, allow a little longer at first – you can always shorten it a bit
more but you can't extend it!
